Re: How long do most people use their VED
When I was released to cycle, I would do an hour each day using VED, but broken up in 5 minute intervals. 5 minutes at 7 inches of vacuum, 5 minutes off, 5 minutes on, 5 off, etc. So technically I'd be in the VED for 30 minutes a day. I did that for about 2 months and didn't notice much improvement ...

Re: Did Insurance Cover Your Implant?
My Kaiser plan would have, with a $200 copay. After meeting with the urologist I decided he was a nope. Paid 100x that out of pocket and am thrilled I did .

Re: reminder why I love my implant
I’m at a nude resort right now, I told my wife last night that it’s the first time we’ve visited in the past 15 years that I haven’t had a headache, heartburn and felt lousy due to the pills. I’m having a great time. Also, I don’t worry one whit about coming out of the pool with shrinkage! I can one...

Re: implantation and hair removal
No. Those of us that shave our balls or our faces would then have all sorts of groin and face infections.

Re: Deflate button covered or not popping back up
I can't make my CX get a dog ear if I tried. Even completely squeezed out of all fluid there's no dog ear. No point at a fold, no protrusion, nothing uncomfortable whatsoever. I don't squeeze it out completely though, so it's never an issue.

Re: Deflate button covered or not popping back up
My pump was acting strangely until I got into a 104 degree hot tub and cycled. Seems like something seated in that hot water and it has worked flawlessly ever since. I used to be able to pump 50-60 times and never get the bulb to rock hard, but after the hot tub I can’t pump the bulb past 18-20 and ...

Re: Cycling (bicycle) & early failure
Sorry to hear this, what a tough run of luck for you. I had read about the AMS recalls and bad pumps and asked my doc specifically if all those had been pulled from circulation. I certainly didn't want an old one pulled off the shelf and put inside me! I'm not nearly as avid a rider as you are, I on...

Re: Feels like sitting on a rock
2 weeks man, it's only been 2 weeks. There will be a LOT of changes still to come. Don't get discouraged. I'm 8 months post-op with Dr. Clavell and my bigger AMS pump is in the perfect location, center line in my scrotum just behind my balls and rotated so my right hand and thumb finds the valve but...

Re: reminder why I love my implant
get super pissed off if i took a pill and the wife wouldnt want sex. Man, I don't miss those days. I never wanted my wife to think that I didn't find her attractive and had to rely on a pill, so for YEARS I would have to sort of figure out the times we'd likely have sex and take a pill to be ready....
